Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee chief Arvinder Singh Lovely assured the AAP that as long as they continue with their "good work for the people of Delhi", his party will continue to support them. AAP faces crucial trust vote today

The Congress party on Thursday assured the Aap Aadmi Party (AAP) of its "total support" even as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) accused Arvind Kejriwal of negating people's mandate by taking "corrupt" Congress' support to form the government in Delhi.

Newly-appointed Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee chief Arvinder Singh Lovely assured the AAP that as long as they continue with their "good work for the people of Delhi", his party will continue to support them.

"Kejriwal ji you claim your government won't last more than 48 hours but we assure you we will support you for five years," said Arvinder Singh.

During the debate, he questioned the water and power subsidies offered by the Kejriwal-led government and asked the AAP not to take any decisions in haste as they will put a halt on developmental issues.

Sisodia said that the voters of Delhi have given his party moral majority and added that his government wants to end the VVIP culture in politics.

The voting on the motion will take place at 5pm.

Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal had earlier said he is not worried about his government's fate when the assembly votes on the confidence motion.

"People have faith in us, we have no fear," said Kejriwal on the vote of confidence in the assembly.

AAP is expected to sail through with the help of the Congress despite the acrimony between the two sides.

While inviting the AAP to form the government, Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung had asked it to prove majority within a week.

Delhi is vital to AAP’s national designs as it can showcase its "achievements" in the Capital during the Lok Sabha elections due April-May. If the government falls, AAP can gain sympathy, blaming the Congress.

In the 70-member Delhi assembly the majority mark is 36. AAP has 28 members and the Congress, which has extended "outside support" to its government, has eight.
